In Asia, public policies are formulated and largely executed by men. Women’s issues are rarely articulated, much less addressed. Women’s participation in decision making extends beyond the public arena. In this sphere, Asian women are socialized in a way that promotes their stereo-followers and supporters of their men, instead of being leaders or equal and outside their homes. Women were brought up to believe that they have control or power over their bodies and their environment. Such continuation embedded in social structures and has led to poverty and a sense of belief among most women in the region. The slim percentage of women occurred a position in Asia-Pacific countries reflects this inequity.

Although there has been a substantial improvement in the status of women in the recent decades, only very small numbers of women rise to positions of politics and attain high levels of economic or social participation. They suffer from a variety of constraints. In many countries, their small number extent limits women’s influence over political decisions. Increasing the power is a central factor in bringing gender issues on to the political aged countries in Asia.

The conference brought together scholars on women and politics in Asia and promoted the scholarly cross-fertilization.
